We have developed a series of particle models that are consistent in phase behavior at various space-time coarse-grained levels based on three coarse-graining procedures: Grouping (Gp) for monomer or segment of molecules, Packing (Pk) for grouping of small molecules, and Time-averaging (Ta) for effective potential (Ueff(r)) between two groups of particles over a finite time-span. To adopt these procedures, we have devised a _gsoft-attractive-and-repulsive_h potential model, which has an adjustable hardness parameter (beta) and a smooth cut-off (rcut). When beta=6, the function is very similar to LJ(12-6) model, and a series of the new models with beta
